James Corden's son excited for new movie

James Corden's son is "bursting with excitement" to see his new movie, 'Peter Rabbit'.The 39-year-old star - who has Max, six, Carey, three, and seven-week-old Charlotte with wife Julia - voices beloved Beatrix Potter character Peter Rabbit in the upcoming film of the same name and he's particularly pleased with the project because it's the first time his oldest child has shown an interest in his work.

Amy Schumer is acclaimed for her raw sense of humor on stage as well as her Emmy-winning sketch comedy show, "Inside Amy Schumer ." In her new movie, " I Feel

Amy Schumer The trailer for Amy Schumer's new movie I Feel Pretty has arrived and not everyone is feeling the love.

In it, Schumer plays a woman with low self-confidence, who after a hit on the head believes herself to be super-beautiful and talented which affects her behaviour and changes her outlook. It's directed by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, who co-wrote Never Been Kissed and How to Be Single – they also co-wrote this.

However, response to the trailer has been mixed.

Danish comedian and podcaster Sofie Hagen, who was one of the co-creators of the Guilty Feminist podcast, is one of the people who posted on Twitter expressing her issues with the narrative.

No, that's not Captain Marvel in the Avengers: Infinity War Super Bowl trailer

Will Brie Larson appear as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel in Avengers: Infinity War later this year? She may well do, but fans who believed they spotted evidence of such a cameo in the Super Bowl TV spot that aired over the weekend didn't quite see what they thought. Speculation ran amok after fans believed they spotted a glimpse of Captain Marvel's suit behind Chris Evans' Steve Rogers / Captain America in one of the 30-second trailer's brand new shots. Speculation turned to excitement and quickly spread on Twitter. "If you look behind Steve in the trailer you can see someone walking behind him and the suit looks exactly like [that of] Captain Marvel," said one user in a tweet that garnered more than 900 retweets and nearly 2,500 likes. "YOU CAN'T TELL ME THATS NOT HER," they continued in a follow-up tweet, accompanied by a gif of the shot in question. Sorry, but I can tell you it's not her. Looking at the trailer at a high quality resolution reveals – as many users on Twitter also spotted – that what appeared to the user to be the red and yellow of Captain Marvel's suit is actually the red hair of Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch. At the 11-second mark of the trailer embedded below you can see the shot in motion (we also made a gif), which makes it even clearer that its hair.

So the new Amy Schumer movie is about a woman who is half an inch from being conventionally Hollywood attractive (but rest-of-the-world attractive) who thinks she's rest-of-the-world-attractive? I have never been more confused in my life.

"So the new Amy Schumer movie is about a woman who is half an inch from being conventionally Hollywood attractive (but rest-of-the-world attractive) who thinks she's rest-of-the-world-attractive? I have never been more confused in my life," she wrote.

"Amy Schumer is blonde, white, able-bodied, femme and yes, thin. She IS society's beauty ideal. So they give her a ponytail and remove her make-up and suddenly she's ugly? Why not just give her glasses or a fatsuit? What is wrong with this world?"

Rob Liefeld compares Deadpool 2 to Aliens

Cable creator Rob Liefeld has compared 'Deadpool 2' to James Cameron's 'Aliens' and said there is more action.Rob Liefeld has compared 'Deadpool 2' to 'Aliens'.

"Who is this meant to resonate with? Before we can enjoy the premis [sic], surely we have to buy into the fact that she is not pretty. How many of us are bigger than her? Are we supposed to accept that THIS is ugly when it's all we've been taught that we should aim for?

"I have watched the trailer so many times now. Would it be funny if it was someone GENUINELY (conventionally) unattractive? Someone did not live up to a single beauty ideal? Or would it then be provocative to see someone undeserving of confidence actually feel confident?

"Amy Schumer feels like Hollywood's excuse. Like, LOOK, we put a FAT UGLY woman on TV because she has a teeny-tiny belly and also in this scene she doesn't wear make-up, so now we've fixed it. We're not longer shallow. F**k the f**k off.

"I understand that there are people who look exactly like Amy Schumer who do feel ugly or unattractive. But that doesn't change the fact that those people will still be treated better by society than someone actually fat, actually not white, actually not femme-passing.

Top Gear reveals new series launch date and mad trailer

It's basically real-life Wacky Races.Oh and so is The Stig, although he looks kind of, erm, broken in the trailer.

I Feel Pretty trailer backlash - Amy Schumer ' s comedy is criticised. Before we can enjoy the premis [sic], surely we have to buy into the fact that she is not pretty . How many of us are bigger than her?

"Also how about instead of her 'hitting her head and damaging her brain' in order to become so deluded that she'd think she was ACTUALLY pretty, she read about capitalism and realised that women's low self-esteem is a patriarchal ploy and that she is worthy of self-love?

"I MEAN, SHE HITS HER HEAD AND THEN FEELS BEAUTIFUL. This movie legit had to become SCI-FI for it to be realistic. Only in a MAGICAL universe could she possibly feel pretty. HER - blonde, white, thin, femme, cis, blah, she is ALL THE THINGS AND STILL SHE IS NOT CONSIDERED PRETTY.

"I'm done, I'm out. Come back to me when you're ready to fight against the oppression of women instead of contributing to it. I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE AMY SCHUMER IS CONSIDERED UGLY. Go f**k yourself, Hollywood."

Not everyone agrees of course.

@shayndoesthings posted in response saying:

"I think you're missing the point. They're not saying she is ugly, so much as clearly not STUNNING, and that she lacks in self-confidence because she keeps comparing herself to model-like women. The bartender/her love interest dude are into her when she finally has confidence."

The 'Venom' Trailer Didn't Show Venom, And Twitter Users Are Big Mad And Making Jokes

It's not out till October - did the studio jump the gun?To be fair, there were more hints about the symbiote than some people might have realized. And who doesn’t want to see lots of Tom Hardy, sans CGI? There’s also the matter of the budget. Venom is a lower-budget movie, which gives them freedom to be more violent, but it also means they can’t rush the special effects work or they’d have to pay more. With the film not releasing till October, the special effects probably aren’t trailer-ready.

But, you know, there was a backlash to the trailer , and that was kind of disappointing. Related Stories. I Feel Pretty Trailer : Amy Schumer Finds Her Inner Beauty. The first instinct, at least for me , is to skinny-shame or to be jealous.

It's certainly a controversial area causing some to compare it to an internalised Shallow Hal (which starred Jack Black as a guy who is enchanted so he sees Gwyneth Paltrow in a fat suit as if she were Gwyneth Paltrow not in a fat suit).

I Feel Pretty opens in UK cinemas on July 6. In the US you can catch it from June 29.
